Flight Simulator RGB Modifications

|
||
The modifications included herein will allow an RGB
|
||
monitor to show some colours using the Flight Simulator program.
|
||
This modification is not perfect, nor is is very well tested.
|
||
The user should make a copy of their Flight Simulator program
|
||
using their favourite technique. As we know even the most
|
||
obvious methods may elude us. Anyways, one of the bugs is, when
|
||
the user enters the slew mode, the modifications are nullified.
|
||
Basically, the technique is to intercept the disk vector and
|
||
setup a port for the colour display adapter for the needed
|
||
values. I certainly hope, that by disclosing this technique,
|
||
Microsoft doesn't skin my hide. Anyways to modify your extra
|
||
spare disk, boot up debug in DOS 2.0 and type the following:
|
||
|
||
Note: you need a system with at least 96K to use this
|
||
modification as is.

The value 20 a couple of lines up sets up the colours for low
|
||
intensity cyan/magenta/white. Good luck, and may the colours
|
||
be with you!
